Mike and Milly Dougay, or as their grandchildren affectionately call them, Boogie and Tootsie, have a reputation for bringing delicious cuisine and signature recipes to Southeast Texas. As the former owners of the Tamale Company and Willy Ray’s BBQ, these two know a little something about good food and fast service.

A mother. A daughter. Three possible dads. And a trip down the aisle you’ll never forget. The 35th anniversary season of the Lutcher Theater comes to an end Wednesday, June 17 with the world’s No. 1 show, Mamma Mia!

A few tickets remain and can be purchase online at lutcher.org for $70-$35 or by calling (409) 886-5535.

The pages of The Examiner this week are full of stories that describe sordid acts of violence, horrendous crimes involving drugs, greed and a willful indifference to human suffering. These incidents constitute a basic assortment of the worst sort of depravity visited upon us by wretched creatures who have forfeited the right to be among decent people.

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us “that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas,” we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We’re of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
